Once upon the time I used to create "Where is Benjamin?" posts for my nephew to find since he enjoys the I Spy game. It was too easy for JL as I could not find creative ways to make it more interesting (it is difficult for Benjamin to blend into the background with his bright yellow body and an attractive smiling face). As you could see from the above photo of Benjamin sitting in a bed of colorful flowers at Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, KY, that he not exactly difficult to spot.
Inside the gift shop there are plenty of quirky and strange looking items (above) and wacky decor, fun things for the kids to do and play.
What a real trooper that Benjamin was! Even though he was feeling rather blue (because we would not let him open the 14-year old bottle of bourbon for a sip), Benjamin still smiles brightly while singing "Tell me who do you love? Tell me what love has to do with it?"
Prior to our road trip I usually check the website www.roadsideamerica.com for interesting attractions or places to visit. Above is the 8-ft tall bright red coffee pot and a giant yellow coffee cup on display in front of Lynn's Paradise Cafe in downtown Louisville, KY. There are other quirky items around the parking lot which was almost full when we were there at around 18:00 on Sunday, September 2nd.
These giant flower pots and a funky looking lion were on display the opposite sidewalk from the coffee pot. To get to the restaurant, you have to walk thru a gift shop which was the whole idea to get people to buy stuff they don't need. The gift shop was packed with bizarre items. You might be able to see some of these items on the website www.lynnsparadisecafe.com. We were not hungry at the time so we just sat at the counter and enjoyed pie and coffee. The decoration around the restaurant was colorful and the staff is very interesting. You need to be there to decide whether the cafe is your cup of tea (or coffee)!
